[. . . ] 5. 2 BRI When systems are directly connected to the MCS via the QBRI cards (network side), they will not be able to use the IMUX functionality. If the QBRI cards are set to User side (going out to the cloud), then the IMUX card functionality is available. When you use a Dual QBRI user side configuration in any country where the network provider deactivates Layer 1 (when the line is idle), calls complete only on the QBRI board that provides the system clock. Calls do not complete on QBRI boards that do not provide the system clock. When using BRI lines provided by an Alcatel 4220 PBX, if canceling and redialing calls is done too quickly, the call will not be connected. 5. 3 Cascading H. 243 Cascading is only supported at the same MCS software revision level. In conferences using Concordes, when you attempt to browse a site across a cascaded link, you will be denied access to the site (a message will be displayed). In this case, you must complete a successful browse before you'll be able to select the default broadcaster; for example, browse your own site. If you disconnect a cascade link before disconnecting the sites on the cascaded MCS, all other sites left in the conference revert to the previous broadcaster. However, the names of the sites that left the conference are not removed from the drop-down site list. Graphics transfer across a cascade link does not work reliably. 7 5. 4 Compact Disk (CD) When installing the CD Drive, the correct cable to use is the Hard Disk Drive cable. There is an extra connector on the cable which might be hidden under the power supply for the CD. 5. 5 Concorde When connecting a Concorde at revision 6. 12 or lower to a conference running Bonding restricted rate (i. e. If a Concorde at revision 6. 12 or lower is in a conference running H. 263 or SG4 video and the conference drops to H. 261 video and then goes back to H. 263, the Concorde may crash. 5. 6 Conference Control The "Conference Ending remaining time" in the Systems Parameters folder, can not be changed from 5 minutes. 5. 7 Conference Operators The PictureTel Live200TM and 200NT do not support the Operator functionality. Venue 1. 2 and Swift Site 1. 0. 1 systems will freeze and must be rebooted if transferred between conferences. The minimum requirement for the Swift Site is version 1. 3 and the Venue is 1. 3. 02 5. 8 Connections E1 Card When configuring the VSI Connections E1 card, the system clock must be on interface #1. 5. 9 Continuous Presence SG4TM is not supported in Continuous Presence conferences. 5. 10 Diagnostics When the site status is monitored for a site in a conference, the incorrect audio may be displayed if the CODEC being monitored is muted. Once the system is un-muted, the correct audio being transmitted/received will be displayed. 5. 11 Ethernet Four simultaneous Ethernet connections are supported for systems with a Pentium processor. [. . . ] Continue following the prompts by inserting each new option disk until they are all installed. Once the system has rebooted, check the Help/About menu to verify that all the options were loaded. 5. 21 T. 120 Conferences For a T. 120 conference, PictureTel recommends a minimum MLP rate of 24K. If a T. 120 endpoint disconnects from the conference and then reconnects, that T. 120 site seems to be back in the conference. [. . . ]
